Tom Altman’s Wedia Conversation

web technology, media, philosophy – it’s about me.

Web 2.0 is built on Open Source

This one is a little scary for me, some people (cough-Lyman-cough) have called me a Microsoft fanboy…and I have been know for carrying the blue & white flag from time to time, but if you look at this guy’s research, it is pretty hard to dispute that open source IS web 2.0 at this point.

The only 2.0 site I can think of which is not here is LinkedIn, but they have “Powered by Sun” at the bottom…so that is definetly not Bill and the gang.

If you can think of any other sites…I’ll check them out and see if we can figure out what they are using.
